After
forgoing college to help run the family business, I’d given up on the idea of a
different life, and finally made peace with something a bit simpler.

That is,
until Leilani Hart showed up.

There is
nothing simple about about the hotel heiress and the minute our eyes meet, I
know my carefree existence is a thing of the past. She has big ideas for our
sleepy town and the motel she plans on transforming into a spa destination for
the rich and famous.

She’ll have
to go through me first.

From our
first meeting, we’re like fire and ice and I can’t help but wonder what it
would be like to pin her down and melt some of those frigid layers right off.

But, my town comes first. Or, at least, that’s what I keep telling myself.
Unfortunately, my heart and head don’t seem to agree and soon, I don’t know
where my loyalties lie. I’ve never believed in love, but for her, I just
might be willing to risk it all.

I loved everything about this book. J.L. Berg did an amazing job with this story. It can be read as a standalone as I did. I did feel like I was missing parts, but the story was easy to follow and very well written.

Taylor has always followed in his brothers shadow. Needing to be there for his family he steps up when needed and takes over the family business. At his family’s urging, Taylor ventures out to find the one. Lani is trying to prove a point to her father, that she is ready to take over. These two start out hating each other, but once they see that they have the same goals, that turns. It’s amazing to watch the transition. And the chemistry between these two was undeniable.

This book was great and everything I was hoping it would be. Please check it out.
